I must say I'm mystified why this HotCig DNA 200 is getting such little interest compared to others, particularly for example the similarly priced VapeCige.
It's an excellent price, and with the FT coupon at $124 I believe it's the cheapest 200 currently available. The VapeCige was briefly $114, but now back to $159, and then there's a Cigreen for $140 on 3FVape.
It has all the signs of being different and quite innovative: the only DNA 200 so far to include a separate wall charger, and the first to implement a replaceable battery system along the lines of the Innokin Disruptor.
HotCig have good pedigree for clones, both atomizers and mods. For clone atomizers I now always look for them, and consider their clones to be some of the highest quality 1:1 clones I have. I haven't experienced their mods, but I believe they're also well regarded?
The only key downside I can see is the small capacity of the battery. Though it's no worse than the Hana. And if they start producing compatible replacement batteries quickly, then it could quickly become the most overall convenient of the Lipo 200s. I'd much rather have 2 x 900 batteries, with the second charged and ready to swap in immediately, than 1 x 1500 or whatever other fixed internal capacity.
Of course there's probably nothing stopping me buying a wall charger and a second battery for my VapeCige, or any other 200 where the battery is not soldered. But looking for batteries that fit perfectly in a given chassis, and then almost certainly having to change its connector to be the right type, is hardly a comparably convenient usage.
Anyway, just curious to me it's getting so little attention versus others
Good for me I suppose, as otherwise it would have sold out quickly and I wouldn't have got into the first FT batch
